ISBN: 9780199977994 出版年：2014 页码：289 Oxford University Press

Though conditions of captivity vary widely for humans and for other animals, there are common ethical themes that imprisonment raises. This volume brings together scholars, scientists, and sanctuary workers to address these issues in fifteen new essays. The first section contains chapters written by those with expert knowledge about particular conditions of captivity. The second contains chapters by philosophers and social theorists that reflect on the social, political, and ethical issues raised by captivity.
